TypeError：require（...）。jsdom不是函数

Question

I have used visual studio 2015 for nodejs web development.
I have following packages for nodejs like.

• body-parser 1.18.1
• express 4.15.4
• jquery 1.7.4
• html 1.0.0
• jsdom 11.2.0

and my server.js is

var http = require('http');
var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var jsdom = require('jsdom');

var path = require('path');
var port = process.env.port || 1337;
var app = express();
app.use(bodyParser());

app.use('/bootstrap', express.static(__dirname + '/public/bootstrap'));
app.use('/css', express.static(__dirname + '/public/css'));
app.use('/jquery', express.static(__dirname + '/public/jquery'));
app.use('/pages', express.static(__dirname + '/public/pages'));
app.use('/popper', express.static(__dirname + '/public/popper'));
app.use('/scripts', express.static(__dirname + '/public/scripts'));

app.get('/', function (request, response) {
var $ = require('jquery');
var title = $(html).find('title').text();
console.log(title);
response.send("Hello node");
});
app.listen(port);

Answer 1

Try using the following,

var jsdom = require('jsdom');
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;

const { document } = (new JSDOM('')).window;
global.document = document;

This problem is because of the older version of jQuery which you are using, move to the newer version which is 3.2.1.

I was also facing the same error, moving to the new version solved this issue. You can check this answer for more information: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47215319/5892553

Do it like the following:

 var jsdom = require('jsdom'); const { JSDOM } = jsdom; const { window } = new JSDOM(); const { document } = (new JSDOM('')).window; global.document = document; var $ = jQuery = require('jquery')(window); 

Hope this helps you or anyone who has been facing these types of issues.
